GDPR Policy

On May 25, 2018, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect. GDPR regulates the governance of personal data for European Union (EU) citizens with an emphasis on data security and privacy. The GDPR not only applies to companies that operate in the EU, but the regulations also impact companies operating outside of the EU if they have any EU based Clients or the personal data of anyone in the EU.

Chef Results has made information security and data privacy principles the foundation of everything we do, and we recognise the importance of passing new regulations to advance information security and data privacy for citizens of the EU. We are firmly committed to GDPR readiness.

In line with the new GDPR we will soon be sending out updated customer contracts which link to our adjusted terms and conditions, which will define our obligations under the GDPR.

Our new privacy policy can be seen below. The privacy policy also details the person responsible for data protection at Chef Results.
